A great tutorial by Mark Fancher on how to drive FLIP fluid simulations with video data in Houdini by using motion vector passes (optical flow) generated from Nuke. Watch it on Vimeo.

A tutorial by SideFX on how to use new FLIP fluids features in Houdini 16. It goes over how to reduce reflecting waves with the waterline and boundary layer tools, and how the boundary layer can be extended to river upressing. Also covered are new effects such as creating a crown splash, a directable fluid to fill a character and how sliding viscous fluids can create more believable behavior.

A tutorial by Tim van Helsdingen on how to create his boiling water animation, using Houdini and Redshift. Watch it on Vimeo.

A commercial tutorial by Rohan Dalvi on how to create a complete project that will take the viewer through a variety of aspects of Houdini. Topics covered include procedural modeling, polygonal modeling, environment generation, cloud modelling, CHOPs, RBD, constraints network, smoke simulation, materials, lighting using HDRIs, setting up takes, rendering and final composite in After Effects. More on Rohan Dalvi's website.

A tutorial by BW Design on creating a lava simulation using Houdini: Part 1, Part 2.

A tutorial by Ben Watts on how to melt objects in Houdini using FLIP with variable viscosity and custom attributes. Watch it on Vimeo.
